PRODUCT INFORMATION

information. Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures.

DuPontTM KARMEX? XP herbicide must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label, or in separate published instructions.

KARMEX? XP is a dispersible granule to be mixed with water and applied as a spray for selective control of weeds in certain crops and for nonselective weed control on noncropland areas. It is non-corrosive to equipment, nonflammable and non-volatile.

KARMEX? XP may be applied to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall and other conditions. Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soil low in clay or organic matter for equivalent herbicide performance. Moisture is required to activate the herbicide. Best results occur if rainfall (or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application.

KARMEX? XP applied before emergence of crop and weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling stage before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, KARMEX? XP continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through the preemergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented; these include cultivation and postemergence herbicide application.

KARMEX? XP may also be used to control emerged weeds. Results vary with rate applied and environmental conditions. Best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70?F or higher. Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of KARMEX? XP.

KARMEX? XP may be used as a directed postemergence application. Contact of crop foliage and/or fruit with spray or mist must be avoided on the following crops: artichoke, corn (field), cotton, sorghum (grain), sugarcane and established plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, blueberries, caneberries, gooseberries, citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts and certain tree plantings as injury may occur.

Under specified conditions (see CROP USES), KARMEX? XP without surfactant may be applied over the top of alfalfa (established, dormant or semi-dormant), asparagus (established), birdsfoot trefoil (established, dormant), grass seed crops (established), oats, red clover (established, dormant), sugarcane, wheat and pineapple.

Weed species vary in susceptibility to KARMEX? XP and they may be more difficult to control when under stress. Combinations of KARMEX? XP with other herbicides (as registered) increase the number of weed species controlled. Consult labels of the companion product for this and other

Since the effect of KARMEX? XP varies with soils, uniformity of application and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Do not use on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants or lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Thoroughly clean all traces of KARMEX? XP from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pumps, hoses and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately).

Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or in areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots may injure these plants.

Trees or other desirable plants whose roots extend into a treated crop use area may be injured.

RESISTANCE

When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.

To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.

It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when

APPLICATION INFORMATION

AERIAL APPLICATION: For alfalfa, barley (winter), cotton (preplant or preemergence only), grass seed crops (PNW only), sugarcane and wheat (winter), application may be made by aircraft at 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Avoid overlapping of spray swath and avoid application under conditions where excessive drift may occur. Where land is bedded, make application parallel to rows.

GROUND APPLICATION: Use a boom power sprayer properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery. Openings in screen should be 50 mesh or larger. Continuous agitation in the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means. If by-pass or return line is used, it should terminate at bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping or injury to crop may result.

PREEMERGENCE: For preemergence application, use sufficient spray volume and pressure to uniformly distribute the spray solution over treated soil. Preemergence weed control will be reduced on high organic matter soils such as peat or muck.

POSTEMERGENCE: For postemergence application, use sufficient spray volume and pressure for thorough coverage of weed foliage. For selective applications and applications near sensitive crops, use low spray pressure to keep spray drift to a minimum. DuPontTM KARMEX? XP at directed rates controls seedling annual weeds such as annual morningglory, barnyardgrass (watergrass), crabgrass, crowfoot, goosegrass, pigweed and purslane. Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of KARMEX? XP. Best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70?F or higher.

SPRAY PREPARATION: Mix proper amount of KARMEX? XP into necessary volume of water. Where use of a surfactant is recommended, dilute with ten parts of water and add as last ingredient to nearly full spray tank.

TANK MIXTURES: KARMEX? XP may be tank mixed with other herbicides and/or adjuvants registered for crop or non-crop use in this label. Refer to the label of the tank mixture partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions.

REPLANTING

If initial seeding fails to produce a crop, any crop registered for the rate of KARMEX? XP that was applied may be replanted immediately. Thoroughly rework the soil before replanting. Do not retreat field with a second application as injury to the crop may result.

CROP ROTATION

Unless otherwise directed in a specific crop section of this label, do not rotate treated areas to any crop within 2 years after last application as injury to subsequent crop(s) may result.

For crops grown in the arid west and other arid areas: Reductions in normal irrigation practices for the crop in production or a summer fallow period without supplemental irrigation may require the crop rotation intervals to be extended (see specific Crop Uses sections for crop-specific rotation intervals or refer to the Crop Rotation section above).

When such conditions occur, a field bioassay should be completed prior to planting any desired crop. A successful bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the crop(s) intended for production. The test crop(s) strip should cross the entire field including knolls, low areas and areas where any berms were located. The results of this bioassay may require the rotation intervals to be extended.

RATES: All rates of KARMEX? XP are expressed as broadcast rates. Where band applications are specified use proportionately less. For example, use 1/3 of the broadcast rate when treating a 14 inch band where row spacing is 42 inches. Where a range of dosages is given, use the lower rate on coarse textured soils low in clay or organic matter and the higher rate on fine textured soils high in clay or organic matter. For postemergence application, use the

lower rate on smaller weeds and the higher rate on larger weeds.

SOIL LIMITATIONS: Crop injury may result from failure to observe the following:

Unless otherwise directed, do not use on sand, loamy sand, gravelly soils or exposed subsoils; nor on pecans where organic matter is less than 0.5%; nor on alfalfa, apples, artichoke, barley (winter), citrus, corn, cotton, grapes, oats, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, sorghum, sugarcane, walnuts and winter wheat where organic matter is less than 1%, nor on blueberries, birdsfoot trefoil, caneberries, gooseberries, macadamia nuts and peppermint where organic matter is less than 2%.

FIELD CROPS (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS): A good seedbed must be prepared before preemergence use of KARMEX? XP, as crop injury may result if application is made to ground which is cloddy or compacted resulting in improperly planted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. Unless otherwise directed, the surface of the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of KARMEX? XP and before emergence of the crop as weed control may be reduced and crop injury may result. However, if moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, a shallow cultivation (rotary hoe preferred) should be made after emergence of crops while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical means.

FRUIT AND NUT CROPS (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS): Unless otherwise directed, make a single application per year as a directed spray, avoiding contact of foliage and fruit with spray or drift. Do not graze livestock in treated orchards or groves.

CROP USES

ALFALFA

Treat only vigorous, healthy stands of alfalfa that have been established for at least one full growing season. Do not apply to seedling alfalfa nor to alfalfa/grass mixtures. Do not apply to alfalfa under stress from disease, insect damage, shallow root penetration (such as on shallow hard pans), alkali spots, nor to flooded fields as crop injury may result. Do not spray on snow-covered or frozen ground. In alfalfa, KARMEX? XP may only be applied once per year. Do not exceed 3 pounds per acre per year. Avoid overlapping of spray swaths and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping or crop injury may result.

ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, NEVADA, OREGON, WASHINGTON

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Severe alfalfa injury may result following application after cutting if either the regrowth is more than 2 inches high, significant stubble is left after alfalfa cutting or grazing, or the air temperature is above 90 degrees F.
